Have had this 4x8 Harbor Freight trailer just sitting around for couple years and had an idea for it. Will use it for a mobile shooting platform I can
position at whatever distance I need. Going to add 1 1/2 foot of floor to the front side for 5 1/2 foot width and add a bench top to that side also.
Will also add a pair of adjustable feet at rear to prevent tipping and a shade type top.
So to try the idea out I brought along my 44 Mag 1873 Uberti lever carbine and my 44 Ruger SBH. The load for all was the 200 gr. Xtreme plated with 9 gr. Unique. Targets were some old NRA 50 ft. small bore rifle targets I set out at 20 yds. for the carbine and then I walked up to 10 yds. with the SBH.
Once I got settled down shooting from sitting position and off hand standing the carbine stacked them up in the black zone. The Ruger did well too.
